NASA objects to new mega-constellation, citing risk of “catastrophic collision”

[smp]

From Ars Technica:
"NASA has formally commented on a request by a US company to build a mega-constellation of satellites at an altitude of 720km above the Earth's surface, citing concerns about collisions. This appears to be the first time that NASA has publicly commented on such an application for market access, which is pending before the Federal Communications Commission."
